-> This board is not working right.  I now can make it all the way to the
-> card games.  When I hit #2 and enter or nothing, it goes back to the
-> card game list.

It's not the board.  It is the server it is running on and it is
failing.  I am in the process of getting another server but that takes
money and time.  At my expense, but I need the time to get this done and
of course money.  So hopefully I can get something done in the next 30
days before the games are no longer available. 

What you do not know is that Winserver, which drives wildcat actually
runs on a Windows 10 computer.  But because of the way Microsoft changed
things up, there no longer a virtual driver I can use to run the 16bit
games via telnet.  The games actually reside on a Windows Server 2003
machine and that is the machine giving problems.  If you actually telnet
to rdfig.net:1023  (port 1023), all run fine but the games do not run at
all becuase of changes my Microsoft.  

All the Microsoft Windows Operating system like XP, Windows Server
2003, etc are no longer supported by them and it is difficult to
maintain them.

So in short the board is configured correctly just the machine its on is
ancient and failing and looking for a suitable replacement is proving
difficult.

Sorry for your bad experience but for now it is the best I can do for
now.

I'll keep you posted on my progress.  I see you logged on the PCBoard
bbs and played the Solitaire Card game.   I am active there also.
